Brazil’s upcoming decision on whether to allow Huawei Technologies Co. to supply technology to its future 5G network will help define the country’s broader relationship with China, according to a senior Chinese official.
“The question is not whether Huawei will win a bid or not,” Ambassador Yang Wanming said in written responses to questions, weeks after the U.S. warned of “consequences” if the Chinese get to build an ultra-fast fifth generation mobile network in Brazil. “What’s at stake is whether a country can set up market rules based on openness, impartiality and non-discrimination for all companies.”
